~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sailormoon was BORED ! It had been
three days, and everyone had left, of course, and stopped by occasionally to
check on her. Her bruises and cuts were gone, but the burning infection to her
throat remained. Because she was still in Sailormoon form, she could not go to
the doctor's, her own home, or even school. 'I can't believe I'm thinking
this... but I'd LIKE to be in school now !' Sailormoon thought desperately. It
had taken awhile, but she had gotten used to her surroundings, and had even
helped the girls make up an excuse about why she wasn't coming home... for a
while. Thankfully, that excuse still kept her in Tokyo, so if she EVER
detransformed, she'd be able to go to school... even if she was unable to speak.
Thanks to Ami and Mamoru, Sailormoon now knew sign language, and had imporoved
her writing, even learning kanji so she could write and study better. Even
Chibi-Usa visited once in a while, just to comfort her. She knew of course,
everyone's identity, because of this incident... it surprised her, to say the
least. Sailormoon was worried that she wouldn't be able to protect Chibi-Usa as
she promised, but neither Chibi-Usa nor the senshi would have any of her silent
protests. "She's been an angel !" Minako had said. "REALLY !" Rei assured
Sailormoon. Sailormoon didn't believe her at all, but when two entire days
passed and not a single moonbeam hit the sky... Sailormoon believed. For the
first day, Sailormoon had had to busy herself with getting comfortable. Later,
the girls would stop by with her uniform, her books, homework and even some
manga. But it was still no good... there were no video games, and she couldn't
go to the arcade and play games as Sailormoon ! So, Sailormoon made it her goal
for the week to be able to detransform, and go to the arcade, even if she still
was mute... The girls DID stop by with all her stuff, talking to Sailormoon
about what had happened in school. "There has been no sign of any droid attacks,
or that droid that...that attacked the other night." Ami said carefully. "All is
peaceful, so you have nothing to worry about." Makoto assured Sailormoon, who
looked doubtful. For the rest of that day until Mamoru got home, she tried to
answer the questions that Mamoru had made her mind ask itself. 'Why is he
suddenly in love with me again ? How... how can he treat me this way, when only
a few months ago, he claimed he loved me no more ? To this day, I wonder what I
did wrong... but now... should I forgive him ?' OF COURSE ! He DID take care of
you, and if it weren't for him, you'd be dead now, wouldn't you ? 'Probably.'
Sailormoon answered herself. But still....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mamoru had come home later
that night, looking thouroughly stressed; although Sailormoon had fallen asleep
watching TV and never noticed. Mamoru just brought her to the bedroom, and fell
asleep beside her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sailormoon woke up the next morning, to find Mamoru already gone, as usual.
Leave Early, Arrive Late. It seemed that policy always fit the two of them...
Sailormoon suddenly remembered her goal, for she knew after breakfast, she'd be
immediately bored... 'Okay, Usagi, think, think. How to detransform. Well,
usually, when I think it, it happens... so...' Sailormoon crossed her arms over
her chest and closed her eyes, concentrating on the raw, white power of the
crystal. She pictured herself in 'Usagi' form, in her school uniform, looking as
clean and refreshed as she wanted to be...but couldn't be. For some reason, her
senshi fuku could not be... removed manually. 'Release...Moon Crystal
Power...Release !' Sailormoon thought. But her mind kept wandering, and it
didn't work ! More so, her mind wandered to Chibi-Usa... come to think of it,
wasn't Chibi-Usa from the moon too ? Her beam always had a crescent moon
insignia on it... on her brow... 'Just like *I* do !' Sailormoon thought. Could
Chibi-Usa have the powers of the moon ? Maybe she could transform into a senshi
then ! It was worth a shot... but she wouldn't see Chibi-Usa today, which was
all the more reason to try and detransform. 'RELEASE ! GREAT POWER OF THE MOON !
Yield to my wishes, and release your hold on me, release the power !' In a
sudden flash of white and pink light, Usagi, clean and refreshed, stood where
Sailormoon had once been. 'COOL ! Maybe I can re-transform too ! Or disguise, or
talk on the communicator... maybe even talk to Mamo-chan !' With those cheery
thoughts buzzing in her head, Usagi grabbed her purse and coat and flew out the
door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was just after school,
so no one would suspect anything. After all, she was just a *normal* teenage
girl in 9th grade... Usagi walked faster, and arrived to the arcade about a half
hour before the girls usually arrived... and just after Mamoru usually did. YES
! There he was...sitting rather depressed-looking at the counter, staring into a
cup of coffee. Usagi snuck up on him, placing her slender hands over his eyes.
"EH ??? Motoki, is that you ? No... Minako ? WHO..." Usagi released her hands
just as she kissed his cheek. Mamoru was startled, to say the least. He looked
Usagi up and down and his eyes sparkled. "USA ! You're okay ? Can...can you...?"
Usagi frowned slightly, thinking to herself that he expected so much more of her
than she could deliver. That she was a failure. "Usa, you're not a failure in
any way." Mamoru whispered in her ear. Usagi stared up at him. Then she began to
sign rapidly, a shocked expression on her pretty face. "How... did... you...
know what...I was...thinking ?" Mamoru translated. "You...you thought that ? You
didn't say it ?" 'I don't have my voice back...why can't he realize...?' "Usagi,
I realize, I'm sorry... but...wait... did you just think that ?" Mamoru asked,
very grave. 'Hai.' Usagi thought. She nodded. 'You said "Hai" ?!' 'I thought
it...just as you just thought it...' "Usagi-chan ! We haven't seen you here in a
while... how've ya been doing ?" Motoki asked, coming out from behind the
counter. He hadn't seen Usagi and Mamoru sign to each other at first. "She's got
laryngitis... she can't talk." Mamoru explained quickly. "Ouch... hope you feel
better Usagi-chan." Motoki said. 'Arigato.' Usagi mouthed. Motoki just smiled.
Usagi smiled back and ran off to play her favorite game, while Mamoru and Motoki
talked. "So are you two back together ?" Motoki asked. Mamoru was staring at
Usagi play, a small smile creeping on his face. "Yeah." Was all Mamoru said.
"USAGI ?!?!" Mamoru, Motoki and Usagi all turned; the girls had just entered the
arcade. Minako was shaking Usagi like she was a rag doll, her odango and
ponytails bobbing back and forth. A sudden beeping sounded, and Usagi's nauseous
expression turned angry. Her game was OVER ! 'Argh ! She made me lose my game
!!! MINAKO !!' "Hey, no need to yell, Usagi-chan..." Minako muttered. "Mina... I
think you're hearing things...Usagi didn't talk." Rei stated, eying Mina and
Usagi. "Yes she did ! I heard her, she said 'Argh ! She made me lose my game !!!
MINAKO !!' I swear !" Minako insisted. Usagi stared dumbfounded at Minako, while
Rei and Ami looked skeptically at Minako. "Minako-chan, Usagi is still mute."
Mamoru said softly. "EH ?? She is ?? But how... how did I... ? HUH ?!" Minako
looked VERY confused, looking back and forth from Usagi and the girls to Mamoru.
'Minako, can you hear me ?' Usagi thought. Minako turned to her, her eyes wide.
"H-Hai..." Minako stuttered. 'I suppose because we're all senshi, we can
telepath with each other... and of course, Mamoru and I...' "Yeah... I guess
so..." Minako trailed off. "Minako, you're bonkers !" Makoto exclaimed, looking
strangely at the two girls sharing a silent conversation. 'Mako-chan !' Usagi
reprimanded mentally. Makoto looked shocked... her eyes rolled back in her head
as she fainted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mako-chan
! Mako-chan !" Rei cried, using a fan to blow Makoto's face cool. They were all
sitting around the cot in the arcade's First Aid room, in a circle around
Makoto. "Eh ?? You know...I had a funny dream..." Makoto started off, woozily.
'It wasn't a dream.' Usagi 'told' her. Makoto sat bolt upright, staring intently
at Usagi. "Did...did she just talk ?" Makoto asked the other girls. They all
shook their heads. "HOW IN THE NAME OF JUPITER DID I HEAR YOU THEN ?!?!" Makoto
yelled. If Ami hadn't slapped her hand over her mouth, Makoto might have rambled
about the Silver Millenium... "Usagi has been able to adapt to her handicap by
becoming telepathic... or she may already have been, but the power was dormant,
and unnecessary to use." "In a language WE speak, Ami-chan ?" Minako asked. "She
can talk through our heads." Ami rephrased. "Oh...weird..." Rei commented. 'Hey
!' Usagi shot out. "Hey what ? I think it's kinda weird that YOU have this power
when I'm the one who has all the supernatural studies !" 'AW, REI !! You always
have to one-up me...You're so MEAN !!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!'
Usagi whined. Rei covered her ears in desperation, making quite an amusing scene
for all the other girls, who heard none of Usagi's extra- amplified whining.
"Gomen, Usagi, Gomen...stop, please !!!" Rei cried, toppling onto a chair. Usagi
ceased her mental crying. "Waitaminute... maybe we ALL can talk to each other
like this...let's try !" Ami suggested enthusiastically. "Neat...okay, here goes
!" Makoto said. She closed her eyes and concentrated on Minako. 'Minako...
Minako...when is the new Sailor V movie coming out ?' "Next June." Minako
replied out loud. "IT WORKS !" Makoto cried enthusiastically. Everyone else
tried it, sending one 'message' to everyone else: Makoto, Ami, Rei, Minako,
Usagi and Mamoru. 'Mamoru and I have it two way... he can telepath back to me...
why don't you all try that too ?' Usagi asked of the other senshi. "Good idea."
Ami voiced. 'Usagi... Usagi... are you there ?' 'No, I was daydreaming I was in
Tahiti.' Usagi replied, her eyes closed. Minako stifled a giggle, which ended up
butsting out anyway. 'And what, Princess Venus, is so funny ?' "Nothing, Usagi-
chan...but when we went to fight Beryl... you said you'd rather be in
Tahiti...sorry... just a dumb flashback...forget it." Minako got a bunch of
raised eyebrows and one sad smile from Usagi. 'It's okay. But you can't blame
me; it was COLD there !' "True." Ami said aloud. "Yeah." Makoto, Minako and Rei
all said. Mamoru was still silent. 'Mamo-chan ? Something wrong ?' Usagi asked
him. 'No, nothing. Just... Usagi, if you can transform back, I don't want you to
fight.' 'W-Why not ? I have to protect you, and everyone else... especially
Chibi-Usa !' 'Please Usagi ! Promise me !' Mamoru looked at her, a pleading
expression on his face. 'I promise.' *To protect you no matter what* Usagi added
to herself. The senshi suddenly heard a crowd of frightened screams... it was
morphing time. Mamoru shut the door as the girls transformed, save Usagi, who
looked a mix between upset and disappointed. "Let's go !" Sailorvenus cried as
she opened the door. The arcade had been instantly deserted; it seemed everyone
had forgotten about them being in the First Aid Room. All for the better... it
would look rather suspicious if the senshi ran out of a room where four girls
had just been. When the senshi arrived outside, Tuxedo Kamen at their heels and
Usagi following at a safe distance, they saw the crowds running from the Music
Hall. "What's going on ?" Sailorjupiter cried in exasperation. Suddenly, the
Hall exploded in a burst of strange air waves... "Sonic waves." Mercury
announced aloud. Usagi heard this, and knew only one droid could be behind this
attack: Vocala. Usagi ducked into an alley, afraid for her friends, her lover,
and all the people of Tokyo, of Earth. Now that her own kingdom had been
destroyed, and Mamoru had died protecting it and her, she would do the same for
him... with the exception of her not planning on dying. 'I CALL ON THE GREAT
POWERS OF THE MOON ! MOON CRYSTAL POWER...MAKE UP !' Usagi thought. In a burst
of light, there stood Sailormoon. Satisfied, Sailormoon ran from the alley and
into the fray. The senshi were already gone by the time she got to where they
had been staring at the Music Hall. She ran faster and faster towards the Hall,
determined to meet her objective: to protect those she loved, to fight for them,
and justice, love, dreams... even if it meant her death. 'But I will fight, I
will win...and I will NOT die.' Whe Sailormoon arrived on the scene, the four
senshi and Tuxedo Kamen were in a semi-circle, a strange woman in the center,
surrounded by rubble. "Well...well...the Sailor senshi are here... oh ! But
wait...where's Sailormoon ?" The woman laughed in a familiar voice. "Usagi...?"
Sailormars whispered. The woman wasn't Usagi, but she had her voice... it was
very strange... 'RIGHT HERE MAGGOT BREATH !' Sailormoon telepathed from the top
of the ruined building. The sailor senshi gasped audibly as did the woman, whose
eyes narrowed into slits. "Well...SAILORMOON ! I guess my taking of your voice
was a bad idea... SO I'LL TAKE YOUR LIFE, INSTEAD !" The woman's formerly Usagi-
like voice melted into a deep, bass voice, like... a monster. The woman's
clothes melted into a deep green-blue skin, as her eyes became red slits and her
arms grew to three times their size, hanging menacingly at her side, with claws
sharpened. 'NO WAY.' Sailormoon said simply, diving off the bulding. 'MAKEOVER
TIME, PANCAKE FACE !' Sailormoon telepathed, crossing her arms over her as she
hit the droid in the face. Sailormoon knocked the droid over to the ground,
sailing over it herself and into a balacing position on the asphalt a few feet
away. "BURNING MANDALA !!!!!!" Mars yelled when the droid got knocked over. A
slew of firey rings flew at the droid, singing its skin, and cracking a jewel on
its chest. Suddenly, golden sonic waves were emitted from the opal-colored
jewel, and flew about like lightining in the sky. One of these bolts hit
Sailormoon right down her center, and she fell to the ground, crackling like a
piece of shocked metal. "SPARKLING...WIDE...PRESSURE !" "LOVE-ME CHAIN !" "SHINE
AQUA ILLUSION !" The three senshi called out, trying to distract the droid while
Tuxedo Kamen ran to Sailormoon's side. All three attacks were deflected, sending
the senshi crashing into large, upturned hunks of concrete. Tuxedo Kamen was
unable to touch Sailormoon; she was very hot and crackling with what looked like
electricity. He turned for a minute to face the threatening droid, who now saw
him and was fast approaching him. He never noticed the golden bolts sink into
Sailormoon's throat, like a mirage does in the distance. The droid lunged upon
him, as he awaited the same fate his friends had gotten. 'Usako...I love you
so...' Tuxedo Kamen thought as the droid attacked.
